The illegal trading of copyrighted (by others) files isn't a legimiate use of Internet2. I find it amazing that people get upset about the MPAA but these same people, for the most part, do not get nearly as upset about those who are breaking the law.
IOW, as long as they let you use it for free you are ok with it but as soon as you have to pay for it it sucks and should be illegal to take without permission.
As for the Constitution not mentioning movies or music it didn't mention the internet either so are you ok with no freedom of speech on the net?
They will spend more money on researching the movie delivery methods as that has the potential to cut out damn near every middle man the MPAA member companies have to deal with.
Just look at the SBC/MSFT deal to see where this is heading.
The MPAA doesn't have income...The members of the MPAA derive income from Movies but the MPAA doesn't.
2nd, MPAA member orgs make a lot of money off of DVD sales, a whole lot of money. DVD sales are one of the main reasons why David Shapel made so much money as he received most of the royalites from the sale of said DVD's.
There are services like iTunes/BlockBuster that allow people to sample music before they buy the entire song and, besides, downloading an entire movie and/or song isn't what fairuse is about.
How about you learn what you are talking about before you post again?
Read the damn article, the MPAA doesn't want to sniff all Internet2 traffic nor is check to see what is being traded the only reason the MPAA wishes to be on the network as, it appears, they wish to do some research on secure movie delivery...
But don't let the facts get in the way of your wild rantings.
Did you read the linked article? The MPAA doesn't want to sniff all of Inet2 traffic, they want to do research AND check to see what people are sharing.
Try reading the damn article next time, listing to what/.er think the article might say isn't a smart thing to do.
Bring down the cost doesn't mean the subscription will get cheaper, what it means it it will delay a future price increase. Since they will not raise prices as soon as they thought they would it will be a 'price cut'.
If you can't figure out why people are getting upset about a product they have already bought being changed to shove ads in their face your are either stupid or need to change your sig.
This isn't the first time that Tivo has removed and/or changed features on customer purchased devices that didn't help the customer.
First, their is no proof that the jump in the stock was tied to this.
Second, the stock market, at least in the short term, isn't about profits, it is about what people THINK the profits will be. It's more psychology than economics (not that they are that different to begin with)
Schools get some of there funding, at least in Texas, based on student attendance.
This isn't to keep kids in school so they can be educated, this is to keep kids in school so the admin doesn't have to cut any cushy admin related jobs. For fun, check and see how much the admin of your local school district has grown in the past 15 years and compare it to student performance.
It appears that it takes liquid CO2 to make dry ice.
From a google search.
Basically, dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 is usually found as a gas -- it's what we exhale. To make dry ice, CO2 is compressed, and it liquefies at a pressure of approximately 870 pounds per square inch. The dry ice press then reduces the pressure, and part of the liquid CO2 sublimates (meaning it turns from a solid into a gas). The remaining liquid freezes into flakes that are compacted into solid blocks. The resulting dry ice is denser, heavier, and colder than ice made from water.
Here is a link to a machine that can make a block of dry ice in 60 seconds with just a liquid CO2 cylinder, and it costs less than 600 USD.

I get modded to hell and back because I say that you should not copy vidoes with out permission and this BS gets modded up?
/.?
WTF is going on on
Can you give us a link to this new tech? I wish to know how many years it will take for it to showup.

If the movies suck so much why are you downloading it?
All the MPAA has asked for is a connection into the network, they have not asked for any other rights that other who are on Inet2 do not have.
Could you please provide me your address? I would like to come over and borrow your car and the contents of you wallet.
After all, its the new way to do things because laws do not matter any more.
RENT the damn DVD before you buy it if you have to but don't steal the damn thing.

It isn't that it CAN be used for copyright infringement, its that it IS being used for copyright infringment.
I just don't get why people think it is ok to take music/movies/software from people with out paying...
How do you suggest they adapt?

If people would stop copying their stuff with out permission the would, more than likely, stop acting they way they are.
I mean, what gives someone the right to copy entire movies like that?
Judging by the posts on /. from people who have Inet2 access, a lot of illegal file trading does go on in the Inet2 realm...
But you are probably ok with that misuse of Inet2, arent you?
You must be new here, we aren't allowed to read the articles before we read them.

You must understand that art being 'good' or 'bad' has next to nothing to do with the way it looks, well, thats if you are an art critic.
